Fathers day

Olivia did a couple little projects for fathers day. She had so much fun doing them too! She did finger painting and a stepping stone for John. We will probably have to break out the paints again sometime because she really did love it- and John loved the painting!

Here she is at the start of the painting.
almost done. I love this picture of her cute little hands in the messy paint.

Olivia with her daddy on fathers day with the finished product. We hung it up immediately in the dining area!

Her cute handprint stepping stone. She helped pick out all the stones we used.

Dad came over for lunch that day before I went to work. We had a great afternoon together!

31

John turned 31 this past Sunday. I unfortunately had to work the night before so I had to nap on his birthday and then had a baby shower to go to in the afternoon. Of course John didn't mind- he is so laid back. The baby shower was so much fun, I don't know if I've ever been to one so nice! I still wanted John to feel a little special, so I brought donuts home for breakfast on my way home from work (he also made breakfast- pancakes and bacon). We then went out for a really nice dinner after I got home from the baby shower, while Jenny and Nick watched Olivia. It was so nice to be able to take time and enjoy our meal rather than rushing! We did joke that we spent a lot of time talking about Olivia when she wasn't even there- but that's what most people do, right?! Anyway I got him a blown up canvas of the picture of him throwing up Olivia into the air. He seemed to really like it. I also got him a weekend river rafting trip that him and Nick are going on in July! He sounds really excited so I'm hoping he has fun!


The baby shower:

We walked over the falls after dinner. The weather was so nice!

Us.


Happy birthday John! I couldn't imagine a better husband or daddy to Olivia!

Packing daddy's lunch.... or unpacking it. The banana looked tasty.

Daddy just left. I will watch him from the window.

bye bye daddy. See you tonight!

30th birthday weekend

Some pictures of John's actual 30th birthday. Olivia dressed up in a pretty party dress for the occasion. We had dinner over at Dad and Sandy's house and I decorated a pre-made cake.

Olivia is wondering what is so funny!

John got this shotgun from his grandpa- it was his hunting gun and now it is John's. John was *very* excited!

It was a fun weekend that went by very fast! It was nice to have Harry and Audrey here Saturday as well to help celebrate!

Hapy 30th birthay John!

Saturday May 22 was John's 30th birthday. I didn't have time to post pictures until today of over the years but here are a bunch! These aren't in any sort of order. Pictures of Vashon, Ballard, Spokane, weddings, trips, camping, fishing, and John becoming a daddy. I couldn't ask for a better husband or daddy to Olivia! We love you John!
